Guest reviews
Exceptional
We stayed for four nights and truly enjoyed the atmosphere Vanessa and Dick create to give people a sense of the west co
Liked: Friendly staff, free filtered water, free parking, many good recommendations about the area, a comfy atmosphere and a place to reset.
The perfect escape
Liked: We had the most incredible stay at Birds of Paradise in Aljezur. It’s one of those places where everything feels intentional yet completely relaxed. The design is beautiful without being overdone, and it’s full of thoughtful touches—natural soaps, super comfy beds, a filtered water station in the kitchen, and an overall calming atmosphere that immediately makes you feel at home. The location is great for exploring the area, though you’ll need a car to get to the beaches and surrounding areas —Arrifana and Monte Clérigo were our favourites, both absolutely stunning. Onsite parking makes it super easy to come and go. Vanessa, Dick, and Jennifer were all fantastic - Warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. Vanessa and Dick helped organise brilliant surf lessons with friendly, patient instructors, and Jennifer had great recommendations for live music and places to eat that made our evenings even more special. Breakfast was a real highlight—different every day, homemade, locally sourced and so delicious. You can really feel how much love and care has gone into every part of this place. It’s calm, well-run, and clearly built with heart and purpose. We're already planning our trip back! 🩵
Excellence in B and B
Liked: Our hosts Dick and Vanessa really do care that you get everything from your visit you wish for. I already miss the hand -made soap and shampoo. Careful touches are apparent everywhere you look.
Disliked: The lack of aircon in the bedroom was a problem as the mozzie count locally is high and although the small window had a mosquito screen, for some real air throughput - we needed the big window open, and then some antihistamine cream in the morning!
Great holidays
Liked: Lovely hosts that very much care about their guests. Breakfast was incredible and house is very inviting for andinner at the Pool.
A thoughtful, stylish and sustainable retreat in Aljezur
Liked: We had a wonderful stay at Birds of Paradise B&B. The place has a very personal and welcoming atmosphere. Dirk and Vanessa, the hosts, were incredibly thoughtful — they surprised us with a bottle of bubbly and handmade shampoo and soap bars to celebrate my husband’s birthday and our wedding anniversary. Such a lovely gesture! The B&B embraces sustainability, providing refillable glass water bottles in each room, proper waste segregation, and a filtered water station in the communal kitchen — small things that really matter. Our room was beautifully designed, very clean, and had a private mini terrace we loved relaxing on. The pool was warm, well maintained, and never crowded. On-site parking was convenient, and having a car is definitely recommended for visiting nearby beaches like Arrifana and Amoreira, or heading into Aljezur town. Breakfast was lacto-ovo vegetarian (including dairy and eggs, but no meat or fish), with lots of vegan options too. Jennifer, who helped during our stay, was incredibly friendly and made sure our preferences were taken into account — thanks again for the delicious brownies! Communication was easy, and we got great local tips for restaurants and beach day trips. If you’re looking for a place with a relaxed, communal vibe where you can connect with the hosts and fellow travelers, this is the perfect choice. The hosts are often present to assist during the mornings. In an age of impersonal travel, this place feels genuinely warm, thoughtful, and homey — a perfect base to explore the West Algarve.
Disliked: Absolutely nothing to dislike:)
Full of care, kindness and attention to detail:)
Liked: I wholeheartedly recommend this place! Vanessa & Dick created a beautiful space where you a feel at home while exploring everything the area has to offer. Design of rooms and all the details along my stay were curated with a lot of attention and care. Hosts were very helpful in recommending additional attractions such as surf training or massage. Each of their recommendations turn out great. Thank you Vanessa, Dick, Madeleine and Sami for these peaceful and sunny days ☀️🫶🏻
Disliked: For someone who wishes to be close to the beach this place may not be best. I would still recommend it though as it has an easy access to both of top beaches in the area: Arrifana and Playa de Konte Clérigo. It has a nice swimming pool also
